Oregon punches well above its weight in the local food movement. The state's Willamette Valley — one of the most agriculturally productive regions in the Pacific Northwest — supplies an impressive array of farms producing grass-fed beef, heritage pork, and pastured lamb. Portland's innovative food culture has created a strong market for high-quality independent butchers.
